A Different QT question

[Snowboarda42]

So right now I'm in the middle of QTing my clown and two anthias.

The SG right now is 1.010

My DT had the three fish (only clown showed ich) in it for less than 24hours. Is it pretty much guaranteed that my tank is ich infested? In other words do I HAVE to wait 30days to add any other fish (the non infested type)?

Also, what is the highest SG that ICH will survive in?

you need to lower the sq in QT to 1.009 ich will survive in 1.010, also yes treat all fish now for 4-6 weeks and leave the main tank fishless for that time

I hope you are using a refractometer to measure the water

Oh yeah, definately. I heard WAY too many people swear by them, so I had to get one.

Yes, lower to 1.009, you should also leave the tank fallow and QT your new fish for 6 weeks.

BTW, I'm in Wenatchee too, whoulda thunk?
